< 約伯記 36 >
Ka naʻe fai ai pe ʻe Elihu ʻene lea, ʻo ne pehē,
2 你且等一會,容我教導你,因為為天主,我還有些話要說。
“Ke ke kātaki siʻi pe au, pea te u fakahā kiate koe ʻaia ʻoku toe ʻiate au ke lea ʻaki koeʻuhi ko e ʻOtua.
Te u ʻomi ʻa ʻeku ʻilo mei he mamaʻo, pea te u tuku ʻae māʻoniʻoni ki hoku Tupuʻanga.
He ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai hala ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea: ko ia ia ʻoku haohaoa ʻi he ʻilo ʻoku ʻiate koe.
5 的確,天主寬宏大量,決不藐視任何人,並且有廣大的同情心。
“Vakai, ʻoku māfimafi ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne manukiʻi ha tokotaha: ʻoku māfimafi ia ʻi he mālohi mo e poto.
ʻOku ʻikai te ne fakatolonga ʻae moʻui ʻae angakovi: ka ʻoku ne foaki ʻae totonu ki he masiva.
7 他也不剝奪義人的權利。他使君王永久坐在寶座上,但是他們卻驕矜自大;
ʻOku ʻikai toʻo ʻe ia hono fofonga mei he māʻoniʻoni; ka ʻoku nau ʻi he ngaahi tuʻi ʻi he nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki; ʻio, ʻoku ne fakatuʻumaʻu ʻakinautolu ke taʻengata, pea kuo hakeakiʻi ʻakinautolu.
8 故此,當他們一旦被鎖鏈束縛,被痛苦的繩索所繫,
Pea kapau kuo haʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ngaahi ukamea fakamaʻu, pea fakamaʻu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi afo ʻoe mahaki;
9 天主就向他們指明他們的惡行,和他們所誇耀的過犯,
ʻOku ne fakahā ai kiate kinautolu ʻenau ngaahi ngāue, mo ʻenau ngaahi talangataʻa ʻaia kuo nau angatuʻu ai.
10 開啟他們的耳朵,以聽訓戒,囑咐他們離開邪惡。
ʻOku ne fakaava honau telinga foki ki he akonaki, pea fekau ke nau tafoki, pea fekau ke nau tafoki mei he angahia.
11 如果他們服從順命,便能幸福地度過歲月,能安樂地享受天年。
Kapau te nau talangofua pea tauhi ia, te nau fakaʻosi honau ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he monūʻia, mo honau ngaahi taʻu ʻi he fiemālie.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau talangofua, te nau ʻauha ʻi he heletā, pea te nau mate taʻemaʻu ʻae ʻilo.
13 心術敗壞的人,憤怒填胸,縱被囚禁,仍不呼求救助;
“Ka ko e kau loto mālualoi ʻoku nau fokotuʻu ʻae houhau: ʻoku ʻikai te nau tangi ʻi heʻene haʻisia ʻakinautolu.
ʻOku nau mate ʻi he kei talavou, pea ʻoku ʻi he kau taʻemaʻa ʻa ʻenau moʻui.
15 所以天主藉痛苦拯救受難的人,以患難開啟他們的耳鼓。
ʻOku ne fakamoʻui ʻae mahaki ʻi hono mahaki, pea ne fakaava honau telinga ʻi he taʻomia.
16 他也要救你擺脫災難,領你到廣闊自由之地,在你桌上常擺滿肥饌美味;
Pea ka ne ke pehē, kuo ne hiki foki koe mei he potu ʻapiʻapi ki he potu ʻataʻatā, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha ʻapiʻapi; pea ko ia ʻe ʻi ho keinangaʻanga ʻe pito ia ʻi he ngako.
17 無如你判斷與惡人完全一樣,那麼懲罰和判案必集於你身。
“Ka kuo ke fakakakato ʻae fakamaau ʻoe kau angakovi: ko e fakamaau mo e angatonu ʻoku na puke koe.
18 小心! 不要讓忿怒引你肆口謾罵,也不要為重罰讓你離棄正道。
“Koeʻuhi ʻoku ai ʻae houhau, ke ke vakai telia naʻa ne toʻo atu koe ʻi heʻene tā: pea ka pehē, ʻe ʻikai faʻa fakahaofi koe ʻe he huhuʻi lahi.
Pea ʻe manako ia ki hoʻo ngaahi koloa? ʻIkai ʻi he koula, pe ko e mafai kotoa pē ʻoe mālohi.
ʻOua naʻa ke holi ki he pō, ʻaia kuo motuhi ai ʻae kakai mei honau fonua.
21 小心! 別傾向不義,因為這正是你遭難的真正原因。
Ke ke vakai, ke ʻoua naʻa ke tokanga ki he angahia: he kuo ke tomuʻa fili ia ʻi he mahaki.
Vakai, ʻoku hakeakiʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi hono mālohi: ko hai ʻoku akonaki ʻo hangē ko ia?
Ko hai kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni kiate ia ʻa hono hala? Pe ko hai te ne faʻa pehē, ‘Kuo ke fai angahala?’
“Ke ke manatu ke fakaongolelei ʻa ʻene ngāue, ʻaia ʻoku mamata ki ai ʻae kakai.
ʻE faʻa mamata ki ai ʻae tangata kotoa pē, ʻe faʻa vakai ki ai ʻae tangata ʻi he kei mamaʻo.
26 天主何其偉大,我們不能理解! 他的歲數,無法考究。
Vakai, ʻoku lahi ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai te tau faʻa ʻiloʻi ia, pea ko e lau ʻo hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻoku taʻefaʻahakule.
He ʻoku ne toʻo hake ʻae ngaahi mosiʻi vai: ʻoku nau huaʻi hifo ʻae ʻuha ʻo fakatatau ki he mao ʻo ia:
ʻAia ʻoku tō hifo ʻe he ngaahi ʻao, pea ʻuha lahi ki he tangata.
29 但誰能明瞭雲彩怎樣散布,天幕中怎樣發出隆隆之聲﹖
Pea ʻe faʻa ʻilo koā ʻe ha taha hono folahi atu ʻoe ngaahi ʻao, pe ki he longoaʻa ʻo hono nofoʻanga?
Vakai, ʻoku ne folahi atu ʻa ʻene maama ki ai, pea ʻoku ne ʻufiʻufi ʻae kilisitahi.
He ʻoku ne fakamaau ʻae kakai ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni; ʻoku ne foaki ʻae meʻakai lahi ʻaupito.
ʻOku ne ʻufiʻufi ʻae maama ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻao; pea ne fekauʻi ia ʻi heʻene hoko ʻi he vahaʻa ke ʻoua naʻa ulo.
Ko hono longoaʻa ʻoku ne fakahā ia, ko e houhau lahi ki he angahala.
